The first post on Reddit asking for help made me happy

It took me 1.5hr to draft the post to recruit specific group of lefty participants for LeftScripts project. Once posted, I heard back from 3 interested souls within 15m. I have been pushing this task off for days. When will I learn to cope with procrastination haha. This outcome gave me so much hope.

Screenshot of two replies to the Reddit recruitment post. The first reads 'Sure, I will help. I have a lateral grip, so I learned today from your post'; the second reads 'Had no idea this had a name. I write like the first picture and you're right, I don't come across many other lefties that do.' Both commenters' usernames are blacked out with bars labelled 'GDPR'.

It is another evidence to reinforce some of the things that's true but hard to bake into your belief system

It's easier to be useful than you might thought (someone learned something new in this case)
Some of the things are much easier than you might thought how hard it is
There's something special with being a minority within minority here

Thanks for you attention. I hope you have a yummy dream tonight.
